[Verse 1] You have a collect call From who? [Instrumental] I laughed, then he said my middle name Same voice, more miles in it Quit leasing tomorrow like time don't cost Half was still your sleep, I don't even recollect Call your people, take the picture Stay a little longer, some names in your phone won't always answer Listen, listen You calling with answers? No, receipts [Chorus] Damn My future called collect, I took the call You got time, but you ain't got it all My future called collect, I can tell you what I learned I can't live it out right now Take the call [Verse 2] Stop auditioning, what they auditioning? Where they don't know your name Stop tailoring joy for people changing seats with seasons Keep some plans quiet, let results introduce some love Who understands your silence before you turn it into music I said you got deep use using my voice He laughed, age don't make you wise, it makes wasted minutes harder to excuse Calendar full, spirit postponed, busy ain't living, motion ain't growth My [Chorus] Future called collect, I took the call You got time, but you ain't got it all My future called collect, I can tell you what I learned I can't live it out right now What about money? Enough and a number recognition [Verse 3] Applause stands by summer, what about the ones I bet myself to please? Some became strangers, some became memories, some needed release So the flex ain't the finish, the finish ain't fame A crowded room can't certify your name Build something honest enough to embarrass the you that needed approval Say that Did I make it depends on what? What you do after we hang up [Outro] Then don't hang up Then don't hang up Quit waiting, quit rehearsing Who you love? I'm telling 'em what you got, I'm using it If today got my name, I'm signing the front No more melancholy to one day Right now My future called collect, I took the call You got time, but you ain't got it all My future called collect, now I know how You don't be tomorrow, you and habit now Right now, right now I can't borrow ten years and return 'em clean So I'm spending this minute like it knows what I mean You good? Ask me in ten years I just did Don't send tomorrow what today can do Don't send tomorrow what today can do
